I wish I could be there... (and I wish my TDI hadn't recently started devouring 1L/1600mi of oil)

One of these days...

Have fun, guys!!

If you ever do make it out here you should think about stopping in Walla Walla. There are a couple of farms there who practice pasture management in a way very similar to what the Savory institute is proposing for restoring grasslands. They use a combination of grazing animals that they drive over pasture that is dead or over grazed to help it grow back quicker.

The one I visited a couple of years ago when I learned about that process has since closed but I still have contact with the farmer who I met there and his new farm is using the same practices.

Hopefully we will see you someday soon m_t!

Windshield replacement should be a go. I need to have a bit more of a definitive word on what models we need. Looks like they are all mk4 and perhaps one mk5? We'll probably have some chip repair at the same time.

Hi Aaron,

I had to bow out last week as I have visitors right now. Really need a new windshield though. I'll get hold of you later about that though.

Sure wish I could get there, but gotta miss it again.

I've got that bottle of Knob that needs to be finished off!
What? You have a Knob that needs to be finished off... um, :p;)

Hope you can make it, Zippy. It would be great to see you.
Looking forward to seeing you IBW!

I was at work! It's not allowed to answer my phone while teaching 2 y/o's. for some absurd reason, that's frowned upon. something about safety... i dunno. :p

Hope you can make it!
All packed up, just gotta check some minor things on Zippy and I'm hitting the road. I was sick last night, hopefully it won't be a repeat performance on my way up Shasta! :eek:

See y'all in 15 hours! :eek::cool::D

Hat's off to Marcel!! Inside joke and incontrovertible proof that my car is there, and will be there, to greet all of you. Say 'Hi' to it, and don't forget to take pictures.

Let's hope Rich cleaned, waxed, and shined it so that it will have a good chance of taking 1st. in the 'Show and Shine', 'Unfinished Because Somebody Is Not Sufficiently Scared Sh1tless By The VooDoo Doll' category . . .

Another Ho5G refugee is on the way - although we will be coming in the non-TDI. We will stop at Costco on our way down from Seattle, so if anything is needed let me know.

Words can not express my sorrow about your car!! but, in the other hand, all members of the Joneses family will be attending this GTG, kind of a (family reunion)I'd say, even the runaway from RI that lives here in the Bay Area will be there, so you should not worry about a pic, they will be glad to take more than one for you I'm sure,,, if I were you I would not worry about your car, ever since your car was kidnapped and taken away from you, I'd guess it has always been in a secure bay and place, and not getting blasted by any of the sun rays!!!

Great time, great to see everyone. Rich, you have a wonderful setup: keep at it, even when the air cooleds go away. And from what I've seen that won't be anytime soon.

Al, your car is there. I saw it. Didn't take a picture, but it's there. I swear.

At PDX, headed home.
